Great video and review Aaron. I just purchased a DR 238 and DR 239 for a couple of roofed small patios I have in my unit. Instruction manual for both models says it should be installed at least 2.4m high from the ground. At what height did you install and do you think there might be an issue if I install at 2.20m heigh approximately?
Hard to say, our litigious society dictates that I parrot something along the lines of "always refer to the manufacturers instructions". However, whether the unit being 0.2m closer to the ground would actually make a difference. I couldn't image it would. Again, just a guess.
Look on the back, directly behind the digital display, is the tilt sensor. If you remove the same end on the light, then remove the 4 screws that holds the control panel cover, it will expose the 2-wire circuit that leads to the tilt sensor. Unplug the small white connector (at the other end of the tilt sensor) from the board and it will remove the tilt sensor and the panel will work as normal.
does this Dr Infrared Heater DR-238 come with a floor stand? I don't want to have to mount it on a wall, ceiling or tripod. I would contact the company but they are going to be closed for a few days. Thanks.
I have this same brand of heater but mine gabe me a tilt switch code everytime i would point the heater straight down. It had to be and a 45 degree angle. Do you know how i can fix that?

You won't even feel it if it gets to sub zero temperatures. It's not powerful enough, you would probably need at least 2 of them directly in front of you.
It does work indoors. It has a heating coil encased in a glass tube which heats to temperatures well above 700 degrees F @ level 3. I use mine to heat my home office, while the rest of the house is at the thermostat's set temp - which for me is under 60 F during my workday.

This is so helpful showing the power draw at @4:00 !! I've been so curious about this.
Nope, returned it. It just doesn't put out much heat.
there are only so many watts available from a residential outlet
So this will be perfect for inside your garage.. im making a lil hang out spot in the garage.. was looking for something not to expensive
When I have it upside down like you have it on the video mine automatically shuts down. How can I make it stay on?

Thank you so much for the info. It was very helpful.

It does not. Available as an accessory though.

Hey Aaron... why is "packaged in tons of cardboard" bad for the environment?
because climate change n pollution
My garage ceiling is about 14' tall.. think this thing would heat objects being that far away? Or would I be better to get a tripod?
I think you're better off with a tripod at that height.
@@aaronstestlab Thank you for the reply!
Would something like this work on a outdoor porch in northeast winter being about 5 ft away? Something for outdoor cigar smoking
As long as it's pointed directly at you.

how to I contact you for testing vdieo?

Why don't they heater work for indoor
Its a IR heater. It heats objects. It wont heat up the air. For indoor its better to get a standard space heater.

@@anekinoo7 Nope.
It is more efficient and only heats objects/people.
